Access to an ice rink or curling center is crucial to curling, though ice time is very expensive. Brooms, grippers, and sliders are also costly and essential to curl.

To compete and represent RIT locally, regionally, and nationally in curling, a student must be a paid member of two separate national organizations.

Competitions and bonspiels are additional costs that can be difficult for college students to manage. These costs come from registration fees for events, lodging, transportation, and food. As most collegiate competitions and bonspiels occur at least four hours away, significant travel and lodging are required.

Engaging with our community incurs various additional costs. Our website and our marketing materials allow us to reach our target audience. Gaining college student recruits can be as simple as providing a free cookie or piece of pizza!
